BOSCO DENIED BAIL IN CARD
GAME DEATHBARBER SEIZED AS HE WAITS OUTSIDE ROOM OF GRAND JURYReady to Testify in Case When Indicted for Murder With Luggi
ATTORNEYS WILL SEEK HABEAS CORPUS WRITReady to Testify in Case When Indicted for Murder With Luggi
ATTORNEYS WILL SEEK HABEAS CORPUS WRIT

Samuel
Bosco, widely known Camden barber, sat in the anteroom of the Camden County Grand Jury room yesterday, expecting to be called as a witness in the slaying of Angelo Magalas, Camden chef.

Instead he was arrested on
the charge of murder.

With Frank Luggi, fugitive
police character, he was charged with slaying Magalas, wounded fatally as
he sat in a Penn street card game, January 10.

Magalas, who lived at 1119
Langham
avenue, died Jan. 23 in Cooper
Hospital. A coroner's jury found death was superinduced by gunshot wounds inflicted during a scuffle between two bandits and players at the scene of the holdup.

Bosco, who also participated in
the card game, was one of the principal witnesses at the inquest. And yesterday he readily answered the summons to appear before the jury.

Indicted by Jury

He was in the
ante-room— still waiting to testify— shortly after 4 p. m. when Mark Reeve, clerk of
the jury, came out and whispered to City Detective Thomas
Murphy.

Murphy walked over to
Bosco. Ha placed a hand on his shoulder and said:

'The grand jury just indicted you on a charge of murder,"
Murphy replied.

Bosco appeared stunned. He started to speak again. His lips moved but no sound came as ha arose, put on his overcoat and accompanied
Murphy to the city jail across the street from the old courthouse. He was booked at police headquarters on the murder charge, photographed, fingerprinted and hell without
bail.

John L. Morrissey and
Benjamin J. Dzick, counsel for the accused barber, announced last night a rule to show cause for a writ of habeas corpus will be sought this morning from Common Pleas Court
Judge Clifford A. Baldwin, in an effort to win Bosco's
release.

Evidence Held Lacking

"There was no evidence to warrant
Bosco's arrest on a charge of murder," Morrissey said.

"If Judge Baldwin is available I will appear
before the court and ask for a writ of habeas corpus. I intend to ask the court to dismiss the charge entirely. There was not sufficient evidence to warrant a charge of murder and certainly no evidence on which the arrest for murder was
made."

Both Morrissey and
Dzick visited Bosco in the city jail last night. They held a brief conference after which Morrissey reported the barber still was stunned over the turn of events but .otherwise was unworried.

Police said arraignment of Bosco would be delayed due to the Lincoln's Birthday holiday. He probably will be taken before Judge
Gene R. Mariano Monday morning, they said.

Barber Held
Door

Bosco was one of the players in the game, but when the bandits entered, he ran into a shed and held the door in back of him. He told police he held the door to prevent the bandits from following him. None of
the players could have, fled by the door, either, Prosecutor Samuel P. Orlando pointed
out.

At the time of the coroner's inquest, officials of the prosecutor's office questioned
Bosco at great length concerning his act
in holding the shed door closed.

"I didn't want the bandits to follow me. I didn't want to be robbed,"
Bosco answered his questioners.

Luggi has been sought for
ques tioning in connection with the holdup; ever since it occurred.

Luggi has been identified by other participants of the card game, which was held at the home of Samuel
Ermilios, 725 Penn
street, as the gunman with whom Magalas was wrestling when the gun went off, the bullet severing an artery in
Magalas' arm.

Bag: Former Judge Joseph
Varbalow will soon announce he has purchased the Towers and Broadway
Theatres from the Ellis family ... Circuit Court Judge V. Claude Palmer
will probably file his decision today in the fraud charges made by the
Republican League against the election of Freeholders Ciechanowski
and Francesconi ...
Since Judge Palmer told the Democratic attorney, Alex Feinberg, that
Feinberg must complete his entire case in a half a day "because,
frankly, 1 don't see what answer you can make to this testimony," you
can draw your own conclusions about what the decision will be ...
Incidentally, Judge Palmer will take a plane July 12 for a vacation at
Calgary in the Canadian Rockies ... The name of Walter Uliase, Seventh
ward Democrat, has been withdrawn from powwows on appointments to the
county tax board, .. Senator Al Driscoll was willing to okay Joe Ackroyd,
Democrat, as successor on the board to Fred Schorpp, whose term expired a
few weeks ago, .. The Republicans are said to have figured that in that
way, they could hold Victor King
on the board awhile longer, even though his term expired more than a year
ago ... Lee Smith, former WPA director; is still a possibility for the tax
board job ... The Democrats are holding frequent conferences on who the
assistant prosecutor shall be ... Police Judge
Gene R, Mariano, a strong contender, has reportedly been dropped with Ben
Dzick, Tony Mitchell, Charlie Rudd and the Kraft boys still in the
running ... Police court habitues believe that Gene
himself announced indirectly that he had been eliminated when he said from
the bench, while hearing a case, "Lady, you'll find that even your
best friends sometimes stab you in the back. I found that out myself only
1 o'clock yesterday afternoon" ... That was on Thursday ... Mayor
George Brunner told the dept that our guess was still I as good his, so
that leaves Ben Dzick still
with the fence position in the race ... Mariano
may be considered for the $5000 State job as sealer of weights and
measures ...

A
Barrington man went to county jail for 30 days after Judge
Dzick ruled him guilty of passing worthless check for rental of an
auto.

The
sentence- 30 days and $25 fine- was imposed on Ralph Visco, 35, of 338B
Barrington Manor Apartments. Visco, police said, operates a filling
station at 100 Grove Street, Haddonfield.

He
was arrested on complaint of Augustus
Gondolf; manager of an auto rental
agency, 35 North
5th Street. Gondolf charged Visco tendered him a worthless check for
$178 last December 10.

When
arraigned today, Visco told Prosecutor Anthony
Lario he wanted to make restitution and took a check from his
pocket.

Dzick
said he thought Visco had "a lot of nerve offering to make good on
a bad check with another check" and added:

"I'm
getting a little tired of persons passing worthless checks and I don't
care whether the checks are made good later ... the crime occurs when
the check is first passed".
